    Hello

    I don't think it makes a difference. She can do whatever she finds most appealing.

    I told the surgeon to shave all mine off. He refused and just shaved off what he needed to get out of the way. It was a pretty good job and the cut that was made was all behind my hairline. I still think it would have been better for me for him to shave it all off. Of course, I'm a guy and my hair grows back fast. It would have kept me from having to wash blood out of my hair. That took quite a while and I had to be careful.

    Nothing feels weirder than staples on your forehead.
